    Re: Simultaneous access to file (VB.NET)

    well, I am following up in this newsgroup only since it seems to
    offset people in the other one.

    MyApplication_S tartupNextInsta nce seems to be the solution for running
    several instances of the same application indeed, however I still have
    the following problem:

    I am running a script that looks pretty much like a console (no input/
    button from user) using the graphic capabilities of forms. Currenty I
    use MyApplication_S tartup and MyApplication_S tartupNextInsta nce to get
    the setting (it's actually filepaths added to a list and then
    processed one by one). And then the form is loaded and I use the
    MainForm_Shown sub that fires up automatically to process the files.

    The thing is that at the end of this process I want to exit the
    application, except that a MyApplication_S tartupNextInsta nce has been
    run in between. And I understand that the sub
    MyApplication_S tartupNextInsta nce will wait until MainForm_Shown is
    done to run. Which means I never get the filepaths added to the
    application after it started running.

    I could either not exit the application at the end of MainForm_Shown,
    but then how should I make the application close automatically when no
    more filepath is to be processed.

    Alternatively, is there a way to "pause" MainForm_Shown and make the
    other events/subs run, a bit like "DoEvents" in VB6?

    thanks in advance
    Charles
